The property is absolutely beautiful and is ideally located 10 mins from downtown Stellenbosch but still feels like an oasis if you are looking for a place you don't have to leave. The vineyards have gorgeous views and hiking routes and the staff is extremely pleasant. The rooms are gorgeous and comfortable with heated floors and lovely amenities. The only drawback from our stay was the quality of the breakfast which was extremely limited fro a resort of this nature.

Incredible estate. Highly recommend this vineyard to anyone. The food in the hotel restaurant was delightful and the wine was of course perfect. The wine tasting experience was fascinating coupled with the picturesque backdrop of the surrounding land. Every single staff member were helpful and made sure our stay was perfect. If I had any negative it was that we didn’t stay long enough!

Some renovations are needed

Overall, the property is nice and staff are very friendly making sure your stay is enjoyable and comfortable. It is a perfect venue for weddings or special occasions. The property is listed as a 5-star hotel. Our room, however, had the entire backwall with peeling paint in the bathroom which suggest previous water damage that has not been fixed. This is rather unacceptable for a hotel rated at 5-stars with a nightly rate of more than $400/night. Hence, our lower rating.

An amazing hotel. Great location. Superb staff and service. Excellent food. Room amenities great except bath towels too small, no bath salts or bubble bath yet a massive bath. Drain blocked in shower on first night. Moved to inferior room for one night. Shower fixed and we could move back to our luxurious room. Unfortunately at check out management decided not to refund me for part of cost for staying in an inferior room for one night to what was booked.
